Sebastiano Cosimo Auteri won the International La Fenice Golden Award for the following reason: "For having contributed to spreading the art of fine art photography in Europe." The photos exhibited by Auteri at the 11th Edition Archimedean Festivals, during the International art Prize Giotto, are part of the cycles "Behind the Windows" and "New Genesis Sierra lion "are evidence of howeasily photographic art transitions from Real to AI. His style harks back to illustration, playing with the refraction of light and the rarefaction of the mark to create a dreamlike, undefined feeling. The Artist has a unique approachto composition, color and visual storytelling and uses a variety of technique sin his works; "the rule of thirds," symmetries to create balanced and interesting images, with natural and artificial light he creates natural,dramatic and soft effects, he plays with lenses where he affects perspective and depth of field, with sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect exposure, which becomes crucial stylistic acronym. The dynamism of his subjects takes usback to the movementist photography that gave impetus to the development of theartistic avant-gardes of the twentieth century, influencing movements such as Futurism and artists such as Marcel Duchamp. This type of photo encapsulatesthe sense of documentation of reality and the artistic transfiguration of it. Aphotographic shot that thus gives dignity of contemporary art to a manipulated blurred photograph.

Marco Troia received TheInternational La Fenice d'oro Award from President Dr. Melinda Miceli, for the following reason: "For his career rich in institutional exhibitions andmultifaceted style" The work inspired by the seventh art, the great moviestars, through La dolce vita, a 1960 film directed by Federico Fellini. In "La dolce vita," Italy also represents the myth of the "BelPaese" that attracts foreigners, especially Americans, such as Anita Ekberg herself, who in the film plays an American actress in love with Rome, who is greeted at the airport by a huge pizza, one of the greatest symbols ofItaly. Vivid colorism indicates a search for descriptive vividness where toarouse strong and intense feelings, warmer colors such as pink, red and electric blue appear. These colors are known to indicate and stimulate feelingssuch as cheerfulness, positivity, vitality, energy, dynamism, vivacity andinvolvement. The figuration undergoes a posterization and scenic rendering thatcomes from the execution and filters used.

Claudia Salvadori was awarded the La Fenice d'oro International Prize "For her masterful technique, and forhaving portrayed the sacred in works of acclaimed success. "The body ofworks, "#Be My Voice," which next year will be proposed as a cultural event for the attention of the Vatican Secretariat of State and Pope Francis,was hosted this summer in the Palazzo Ducale del Gattopardo in Palma di Montechiaro. The works draw inspiration from the dramas of our days, from the injustices inflicted on the world of women, likewise the issues of migrants. The works of the cycle aimed at divulging intense realities rise to the function of revealing and spokesman of a historical period dense withcontradictions and inconsistencies. Claudia Salvadori imparts to art the sense of Ethics in the perspective of an awakening and with a view to an epochal awakening of consciousness. The use of raw material is aimed at seeking a kindof perfection in imperfection itself, in the roughness of the pictorialsurface. In the incisiveness of the drawing, the colors of the Earth element,with touches of the elements Air and pure Water, chisel the faces of the youngWomen. The Artist wanted to "recover" the harmony of classical beauty, often now lost, of the eternal sacred feminine, eliding all forms ofmodern falsification and superimposing them on a naturalistic background. Theseare portraits aimed at restoring Value to true Beauty where we see the triumphof sacred geometry over anatomy and facial proportions.
